"The questions and responses here are not intended to apply to VHF+ contesting because there are many differences in the way HF and VHF+ contests are conducted." Just what we need, more layers of rul
And I frequently enter as a multi-op even though I am single op, because I disagree with the "one signal at a time" rule for single ops that was imposed when the HF based general competition rules we
Deep-search CAN be turned off. If you want to handicap yourself, you can choose not to use it and suffer the 3db or so advantage it offers. Deep search should not be a reason to not pursue JT65 if di
I am curious if anyone has done any comparisons of the built-in 6m capability of the SDR1000 vs the SDR1000 as an IF for a DEMI or SSB 6m transverter. I am particularly interested in strong signal ha
Thanks for your response Russ. Since I think you were the only person (I think) to reply to the reflector I will reply here also. Your response seems to be the consensus of the several replies I rece
Has been available for a year or maybe more, for the JT65 mode. I don't know if Joe has any plans to implement it for the meteor scatter modes. With an SDR radio and waterfall display you can see pin
Let's not start the whole skimmer debate on VHFContesting also. Hasn't everyone had enough on CQ-Contest already??? 73, Robert KR7O/YB2ARO, DM07ba/OI52ee (ex. N7STU) kr7o@vhfdx.com www.vhfdx.com (KR7
It isn't often (if ever) that a 5 land station breaks a million points. Looks like the station is playing well. -- ARRL June VHF QSO Party Call: K5QE Operator(s): K5QE K5MQ N5KDA N5YA W5KDA K5YG Stat
True, but there is no incentive (aside from a Q point and personal pleasure) to work more than one station in each DX grid. Once I have the grid, 20 additional contacts with that grid are the same va
I have been happy with the ICE 6 and 2m bandpass filters and they are inexpensive. On 6m I run the 200w 50-50.5MHz filter after the radio and the 6KW filter after the 8877. On 2M I run the 200w filte
N6TEB is a frequent rover and I always work him multiple times throughout the contests they enter. N6TEB/KE6HPZ go to great effort to work everyone possible and I worked them multiple times on every
The funny thing is, the stations that are dominating now with their legal, but claimed by some "unethical" techniques will continue to win, whatever the rules are, because they will plan their operat
With all the rehashed moaning on the VHF contesting, HF contesting, and Moon-net reflectors regarding this/that perceived contest problem I can't decide if I just want to unsubscribe from all of the
I have been using the LMR400 crimp connectors for over 10 years and have only seen two failures of installed cables. One was on a surplus piece of cable at the swap meet that was visibly installed i
I love how we are all presumed guilty unless we prove otherwise. For anyone here so bent on judging the logs, please contact KX9X and volunteer to be on the log checking group. If someone CHOOSES to
OK, so here is the quote from when the rule was dropped. Sorry, I missed that the change was dropped, but I don't religiously follow what is going on in DXCC since I primarily operate 160M and VHF+.
I battled this for a while with my 706mkII. The problem is that Vsend/Hsend are bidirectional. Depending on the keying circuit in your external device, that device could look like a ground to the acc
Thanks for all the contacts you and your group have added to my logs. I just did a quick scan of my log and find over 100 contacts (and I haven't been that active lately). Excluding the June contest,
